WWE SmackDown Results 6/27 - John Cena Appears, Three Championships Up For Grabs

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results for "WWE SmackDown" on June 27, 2025, coming to you from the Kingdom Arena in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia!

One night before he defends the Undisputed WWE Championship against longtime foe CM Punk at WWE Night Of Champions, titleholder John Cena will be appearing on tonight's show with something on his mind to share. Cena and Punk have encountered one another a handful of times over the course of the past couple of weeks in a number of increasingly tense verbal confrontations with one another.

Tiffany Stratton will be returning to action as she defends her WWE Women's Championship against Nia Jax in a Last Woman Standing Match. Not only are Stratton and Jax former best friends, but the former also previously retained her title against the latter on the May 16 episode of "SmackDown".

Another women's title will be on the line, as Zelina Vega puts her Women's United States Championship on the line for the first time since retaining against former titleholder Chelsea Green at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event on May 24 as she defends against Giulia. Giulia has made it clear that she's had her eye on the Women's United States Championship since her recent arrival to "SmackDown", and has gone as far as blindsiding Vega with a couple of attacks over the past few weeks.

After retaining the WWE Tag Team Championship against Nathan Frazer and Axiom on the May 23 episode of "SmackDown", Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford of The Street Profits will be putting their title on the line one again as they defend against The Wyatt Sicks' Joe Gacy and Dexter Lumis. The Wyatt Sicks have been targeting the entire "SmackDown" tag team division over the course of the past few weeks, with The Profits banding together with other teams in an effort to take down the group.

We are on the air! Michael Cole and Wade Barrett greet audiences at home as Cody Rhodes makes his way to the ring. Randy Orton follows.

Cody Rhodes and Randy Orton Come Face-To-Face

Orton says before he talks about what he wants to with Rhodes, he wants to know who watched Rhodes and Jey Uso take one another on in the semifinals of the 2025 King Of The Ring Tournament. He suggests that it be a contender for the Slammy Award Match of the Year, but says that while Rhodes wants to be King Of The Ring, he needs to be King Of The Ring. He says at Backlash in May, John Cena embarrassed him in his hometown in front of his friends and family. He says there is nothing that he won't do to make sure that he leaves Night Of Champions as King Of The Ring.

Rhodes says no one has let him get a word in lately, and Orton is the one who says that Cena embarrassed him. He says that Orton and Cena have 30 championships between them, but he remembers everything including his first night in WWE when he slapped his father across his face. He says just a few months ago, and while RKO will still be the three most dangerous letters in sports entertainment, he will walk out of Night Of Champions as King Of The Ring.

We Hear From John Cena

Cena holds up the Undisputed WWE Championship and says this is what a winner looks like. He says CM Punk is a loser because he's been out cornered and out manoeuvred by a genius.

Cena's Basic Thuganomics music hits, and Punk makes his way to the ring dressed up as Basic Thuganomics era Cena. He says that this is "Basic Punkanomics", then says he's stealing Cena's old gimmick because he plagiarised his Pipe Bomb promo last week. He continues to diss Cena through a rap and take shots at him about his acting career and reign as champion, telling Cena that he can't wrestle. He says he dropped a legendary Pipe Bomb promo 14 years ago today, but Cena tried to make it all about him and promises that he'll emerge as the new Undisputed WWE Champion at Night Of Champions as the show goes off the air.
